SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUIMALB. The Irish Catholics are increasing every day in the I ' tact and ingenuity of their party expedients. 'A Ito , vincial paper, the Miter/on/ Chronicle ) has been lately signalising itself by a piece of ttnalieions drollery, Well imagined and neatly exectit4, for the more com plete exposure of what timers on the face of it to be A very dirty as well as spiteful job, accomplished by the ascendancy gentlemen of the county of Waterford. It would seem that, in the village of Kilmaethomas, a thoroughfare, apparently between the east and west of ' the county, the Beresford interest was held in no ex traordinary veneration. When any members of that sioble family happened to pass through the village, they were assailed pretty often by yells and hootings— Cries of " Down with the Beresfords," " Mad Dog," tee.—to the no small discomfitub and indignation of this Hooka, who nevertheless succeeded in wreaking a heavy vimgeancc on their adversaries. Veiling in other and more finmal proofs of disaDction to the laws, tliis habit of disaffection to the reigning family was laid hold of as a sufficient ground for punishing the refractory vicinage of Kihnacthomas. Some petty turbulence on a particular occasion, gave a .pretence for meetings of the county magistrates : there is every where, throughout civilized Europe, a liberal, party and an anti-liberal---in other words, principle and power, were ranged on opposite sides. The angry Orangemen petitioned the Lord Lieutenant for a police magistrate to be constantly stationed with his men at Kilmac thomas, to , keep the peace, or more properly speaking, to protect the ears of Lord George Beres ford and his friends from being offended by find names or unpolished exclamations. The emancipating justices, a respectable minority, protested, we believe, against a measure so costly, and, to their taste, so need tess ; but Government, in a laudable spirit of economy, unwilling to let the smallest portion of offi cial patronage lie idle, and moved, moreover, by gra titude to the Beresford party, which has with so much zeal supported the conciliatory policy professed by Lord Wellesley and his friends—Government, we say, desirous to civilize the uncouth manners of the barba rians of Kilmacthomas, appointed a Major Somebody to the police command, as requested by the Orange phalanx of justices at their rnectil. 4 , - , 'Mlle magistrates in the minority, who fe2;.: that the legal t e rm of « outrage" required sginething more to con stitute it than calling an ohnoxious individual a " mad dog," protested again upon this burdensome appoint. inent, arid petitioned the Lord Lieutenant to name corn-1 inissioners, for the purpose of investigating the facts of the case. His Excellency, it is said, refined the prayer of the petition, conceiving, we stippost, that as an inquiry had not been instituted tt the proper time, that is to say, before the nomination of the Police Ma jot., ()fortiori, it would be ridiculous to permit an in quiry afterwards. However, the .public spirit of the county being kept Ave upon this obnoximes Measure, the Waterford Chronicle gets some humorous varlet to fabricate a commission front the Lord Lieutenant, detailing the grounds on `which he had appointed the Cottatabulary Major then adverting to the petition of the liberal Iltagstnitem, and explaining his Excellency's reasons for doubting the wisdom of the said appoint ment, together with those which led"to the establish ment of it regular commission of inquiry, the duties and objects of Which ore given With much official ver bosity. The faroe as harried on in two or three num bers of the Watt:o'6rd Chronicle, and in the second of them, .whicis &scribes. the examinatioli and cross examinatiou or the several magistrates on both sides, there is each mischievous drollery and such dramatic . effect, that we regret our inability to transcribe Times. Whatever may be the theories which the present Irish Government has adopted, its practice does not appear to have produced any improvement in the con dition or tamper of the people. There can be little energy and less wisdom in any Administration under which such scenes of popular barbarism and official' oppression ieexair as we have too frequently occasion te• record., The peasantry were never more devoted to deadly feuds, or the inferior agents of the Executive Inore ready to overstep the limits of the law, than at the present day. The accounts which we gave yes terday of the fatal rem:mitre between the populace and a detachment of armed police at the fair of Arvagh, in the county Cavan, afford melancholy evidence of the lawless and distracted state of the country. It also shows with what indifference those persons in whose hands Governnient places arms for the pre servation of the peace can set about shedding the blood of their countrymen. The accounts which we gave of this affair, though from different sources, all agreed in representing the conduct of the police, in tiring on the populace, as unnecessary and wanton. T here had b een a prev i ous a ff ray , i t is admitted, be tween the parties, concerning a man who was taken into custody for some crime, and rescued ; but this affray appears to have been completely over when the police furnished themselves with fire-arms and ammu nition to take a deliberate and dreadful revenge for the insult. They drew up in battle array on the fair green (so all the accounts state)—the business and amusements of the fair were then going on quietly, the place was crowded with the young and old, of both sexes and various conditions. The " guardians of the peace," not finding any tumult to suppress, were resolved to make one—they galhuhly took aim the assembled people, and by the execution which they performed redeemed themselves from the impu tation of having * loaded their muskets in vain ! What a manly and intrepid band of heroes this must have been I What gloriotut trophies such protectors of the peace erect to the honour of the " conciliatory" Go vernment of !rebu t & Some however, think that it I'm" merebe advisable to employ soldiers than exe entionere on such (xeaaiana, particularly as the pe o pl e of England are taxed pretty highly to support a large military force in that country. Again, we say, that if the Government of Ireland was a wis' c and ener getic one, we should nut so often hav e i mpose d upon us the painful duty of detaili»g such nudene ss o r a lawless and demoralised state of society. The Mar quis of 'Wellesley is no doubt a profound Statesman, but we believe he will be content with his exploits in Government, if he leave Ireland as happy i tl d c i v ili sed as he found h.—Morning Herald. An Evening . Paper has with a candour which we very much adrnire, and a warmth which we would by no means condemn, found fault with the observations we lately °fired to the public relative to the scenes of gambling and other vices in which young men are suf fered to bo initiated at the Universities. Our con temporary does not pretend to deny that the facts are as we have st a t e d them, but would fain have the world believe that no blame is imputable to the heads and tutors of Collegeii. Ile says the parents are to blame who allow their sons the means of indulging in such excesses. The blame imputable to parents we are by no means inclined to deny or to extenuate, — 'Woad of 6ficoming wise by experience, too many persons only beeOse in6r4 practically ignorant from what they 'NM 'themselves gone through. But we deny that the folly of parents is any excuse for those who allow the means to exist of perpetrating so much mischief. Our contemporary asks, with great appa refit simplicity, how, for instance, young men can be prevented from attending the races and the hell s at NeWmarket and adds, that he has wo 'doat Mit that the heads and tutors of colleges wilt be extremely obliged to us to suggest auy means of preventing it.s— Now, we can assltre this writer, that nothing upon earth would be more easy ; and this, We are torty . tt, say, the persons lie alludes tb know fall well. It would simply be to require that each person in slatu pupilari should appear in chapel and ni hall every day during the Newmarket meetings. But would this writer really have the world believe that the he a d s of the Universities are so destitute or the means of en forcing discipline as not to be able to suppress those and the many other bad habits of the pupils, were they seriously so in c li ne d ? Suppo s e, for ihstahcti . that they were to say that no youteg Dnhll 'should be seen at Newmarket at all ; *hat, for the first breach of such an otdoi h 6hoOld lose his thud"; for the se cond, be rusticated ; and, for the third, incur abso lute expulsion. Is it to be supposed that this could not be ascertained and put in force, if they were so in clined ? There is no doubt but the scenes of gam bling and debauchery which take place within the pre cincts of both the Universities might be suppressed too ; that the system of unbounded credit and extrava gance might be easily enough put an end to, if those whose duty it is to do so were not deterred by sloth, by habit, and by interest t from correcting a system in which they themselves h a v e b ee n brought Up, and under which they prosper. That parents are to blame we know very well; but we know, too, that a parent who attempts to remonstrate against the system is ge nerally treated wall contempt insWatl of attention ; his virtuous scruples are construed into meanness, and his son probably (labored from 'any future advantage in his College. In fact, the evils of the system are as notorious as they are profligate ; and we are sorry that they shout, meet with anything in the shape of an from any part of the press,—lbid. The Times of yesterday Observed-- " The only person that has met Luriottis's charges liken man, is Mr. Hume. We do not, certainly, approve of Mr. llume'a conduct; but that has nothing to do with the pre sent question. Does he deny anyone of the charges brought by Luriottis against him .? Does he impute falsehood to his accuser? Most unequivocally no. On the contrary, he openly and almost miraculously confirms every fact that Luriottis had previously alleged. `This is a very ingenious shifting of the question, which was not one between Luriottis and Mr. Hume, but between The Times 'aild Mr. Hume. In the leading article or that paper of 28th October, it is stated, that 66 Mr. Hume had assigned to him 10,0001. Stock, at the rate of 59/. per hundred, the original price at 'which the contract was made. Some time afterwards the Bonds fell to 16 per cent. discount. Mr. Hume alarmed at the depreciation of his pro perty, applied to the Deputies and Contractors to relieve him from this loss."—The cause here assigned for Mr. Hume's parting with his Scrip—namely, alarm on account of the fall of the Stocks—has been proved to have no foundation in truth, and the subse quent discussion, in which it is said that it was intimated to him, that if the 'stock had risen, there would have been no analogous sacrifice on his part, is equally a creation of the imagination. If Mr. Hume had been merely a speculator in stock, and had, in the unsuccessful issue of the simulation, been mean enough to seek to be relieved from his loss, nothing could have been said for him. But he was accused by the Greek Deputies, of being actuated by 'interested motives, in his opposition in the charac ter of Commissioner, to the further transmission of money to Greece ; and though the Deputies, after having put hint on his trial before Sir Francis Burdett, endeavoured to eat their words, and wished to preve»t the sale, he very , properly determined to place himself in a situation, which should afford no pretext for chal lenging his impartiality. There is not a shadow of evidence for the assertion • in The Times, that Mr. Hume took, fright at the depreciation of his property ; but, an the contrary, there is the strongest docttmen.; tart' evidence to prove that he was actuated by quite a different motive. A gentleman, who fills the office of Post Captain in the Navy, has favoured us with a sight of the original of the following letter, addressed by Mr. Flume to him, in answer to an application on the subject of the Greek Loan, which will serve to show the sentiments of Mr. Hume, on the subject of Foreign Loans in general, and that for Greece in particular, " February 24, 1824. NY DEAR Sta-,--The Greek Loan is full, and at a premium of 5 per Cent. I cannot advise you on the sub ject. I think all Foreign Loans bad, except for those who can afford to lose what they invest in them. I. was the fief! mail in England who put down my name to time Loan for 5,0001., with the determination, good or bad, to take the risk ; but I never advised one man to take any of it. It will either be good, or a total-loss." The above letter will serve to show, that Mr. H u me was any thing but a dabbler in Stock, and that he consented to take so much Scrip of the Greek Loan, without the least reference to the fluctuations of the Market, contented to wait the issue of the con test, whether favourable or unfavourable. He looked upon his Scrip, as he would have looked on a Lot tery ticket. Mr. Hume was the first person in the country—certainly the first in the Greek Committee_ who put down his name for Scrip. When he first put down his name for 5,0004, he had not the slightest idea of his being named a Commissioner for the applica tion of die Loan. W e have already alluded told:Ai/tying doubled his risk. Mr. Loughnan, senior, had doubts as to the truth of the accounts of the state of Greece at the time, and again and again applied to Mr. Hume, as possessing better information than he did of what was going on there, from the %duel) statements of agents and others, on this subject. Mr. Flume, to spew at least What his own belief was, answered, that the subscrip tion of 5,000/. was the first he had ever made to any Loan, and that he only did so out of his seal for the Greek cause, and. to give confidence to others, and that if it would be any satisfaction to him, he would double his risk. A better proof of Mr. Hume's sin- cerity cannot be.given than this, that, to pro ve his zeal for the cause of , Greece, he did not, like others, throw his Stock into the Market. He neither wished to roi lie gain t money by his share of the Loan, nor to run loss, but held it back to keep up the credit of the country. Knowing as he did that nearly all of the sUbscribers, as friends of the cause, had sold their scrip, while he had sacredly kept his, it was natural o tirt se l l i f e is a i t t io m u p hl ti t es l die more indignant at the attribution to him b himself Oil y a t the commeynetehmeeDntertiltesw Deputies, liable to be charged with disputes with the s elfish motives, when the security.ereFoefelitnhge of the whole of the Bondholders, for whom h e was trustee, and that of Greece herself, _required him to remain firm in his determination, to. PAW against the chance pf the money falling into the hands of the revolted chiefs then in arms, he saw the imperious necessity of parting with the bonds which his zeal for Greece alone had induced him to take before he was named as a Commissioner. That the Greek Goireininent, throiigh its deputies, had no right by the imputation of improper motives to Mr: Hume, whose possession of Scrip was known be fore he was named as a Commissioner, to render it im periously necessary for him to part with his Scrip and then to profit by that. measure, is a point respecting which there can be rio doubt. That Mt. Hume might have made the .Greek Government a present of the amount of his loss, is as true as that he might have made it a present of 5,000/. or 10,0001. It is very easy to point out how generosity may be displayed. Mr: }futile tbrtainly manifested ho unwillingness, as long 'as the question was one of mere generosity, to aid the Greeks both with his services and his purse. But this is not a question of generosity, but of justice: Mr. Hume elaitned frbitt the Greek G6veriiment, as a matter of justice, to be relieved from a loss which its Deputies forced him to incur, by attaching improper motives to his holding scrip. There is not a man of business throughout the country who will pretend to say that Mr. Hume's claim was not strictly just, and we have ourselves heard the opinions of several of time most respectable Members of Parliament, and heads of houses in the City, on the subject. With respect to the New ,Tintes , it would have act e d m ore cre dit a bly if it had given iflr. Home's statements as well as the charges against him. It informs, indeed, its readers, on the 6th, that" his (Mr. Hume's) st a tement is be fore the world ;" and on the 7th, it makes - quotations from the statement, in a long article, but tales care, while it conveys the attack, to avoid conveying the de fence. The courier, in like manner, has acted with characteristic candour. But all this was to be expected. Morning Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S. BENCH, Nov. 8. TILE KING V. LIEUT.-COL. RCIIDALL. Mr. 13nopEatcx moved his Lordship for a Certiorari, to move an indictment against the above defendant, charging him with an indecent assault, into this Court for trial.— The Learned Counsel stated, as we understood him, that an indictment had been preferred against this defendant at the Westminster Sessions, charging him with this offence, and while he was in custody on the charge, he was libe rated on his own recognizance by the order of the Lord Chief Justice. Another indictment had been preferred against him, for the same offence, at the Middlesex Ses sions, and the present motion was to move that indict ment into this Court for trial, substantially on the ground that the defendant could not have a fair trial at the Ses sions. Mr. Justice BAvt.Ev—What are the facts stated on which the Certiorari is moved for ? Mr. BRODTIZUCK now stated, that Lieut.-Colonel Arch dall swore a conspiracy was formed against him, and he alleged among other circumstances to show that was the ' case that very soon after the charge was made against him he received numerous anonymous letters, intimating to him, that if an advertisement were inserted in the Morn ing Herald, stating that "3001. should be ready for A. B." at a certain place, which the, anonymous letter pointed out, the charge - Should be stopped. The defendant very properly refused to comply with those solicitation ; and as he swore he was by birth, habits, and connexions a gentleman, he wished his trial should take place in this Court, because aggravated and distorted statements had gone forth to the newspapers, and had been circulated in handbills, calculated to excite a prejudice in that class of society likely to act as petty jurors at the Sessions. Mr. Justtee 13sruity, upon these grounds, granted the Ccriiorari. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETII-STREET.-4 . person named Philips, quite a lad in his appearance, and dressed rather respectably, was brought up in custody of Dalton, and placed at the bur befors_Sir DAN= Wamtats, charged with intermarrying with Elisabeth Dun combe, his former wife, Ann Maria Vinor otherwise Philips, being still living. The first wife, at whose instance the prosecution was carried on, was present during the proceeding.. Thomas Colsell stated that he was a plumber and glazier, and resided in Brick-lane, Whitechapel. In the month of January, about six years since, he was present at the marriage of Thomas Philips, the prisoner then at the bar, with Anna Maria Vinor, who was then in attendance. The ceremony was celebrated at the garis h church of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, a n d h e was a subscrib • mg witness to the entry of it in the registry book. Mrs. Elizabeth Booth stated that she was a married woman, and was present last, Easter Monday, at the parish church of Strat ford-le-Bow, when the prisoner was married to a young female, named Elizabeth Duhcombe, with whom she understood he wee living at the time of his apprehension. The prisoner was about entering into an account of the cir cumstances that led to his second marriage, when he desisted on being cautioned by the Magistrate, and was fully committed for trial. UNION-HAIL..---Soon after the presiding Magistrate, P.. J. CHAHRZRS, Esq. had taken his seat yesterday, Mr. Docker, one of the managers of the Surrey Theatre entered the office for the purpose of preferring the following complaint, and asking his Worship's advice. Mr. Docker stated, that a ferocious dog, of the Newfoundland species, belonging to a Mr. Honeyman, whose premises were con tiguous to the theatre, was kept near the stage entrance, and as a vast number of individuals connected with the place of amuse ment were in the constant habit of passing to and from the stage door, they were continually alarmed at the savage animal. True it was, that the dog was chained, but its chain was so long that it permitted him even to reach the very door, and thus, in come quenee of his being so ferocious, much inconvenience was expe rienced. " Mr. Honeyman," continued Mr. Docker, " luta been addressed twice on the subject, requesting him, in a polite man ner, to remove the clog, but no answer has been returned to the letters, and my application is to beg that your Worship will be good enough to tell me how I inn to act." Mr. Cuanerith said, that it wile an ill-natured thing in Mr. Honeyman keeping his dog there, to the great annoyance of so many persons, and, unless he immediately removed it, w h eouil id lie;sse , v i butot if he have it s h o t. I n d o i ng th a t, h o we ve r, an action (the Mantrcite) were situated as the ap plicant was, he would certainly destroy the animal. Mr. Docker their expressed his obligations to his Worship, I bowed, and retired. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that Mr. Wood, the present owner of the famous dog Bruin, which is almost nightly performing at Drury-lane, in the Knights of the Cross, has been summoned before the Magistrates of this office, for re fusing to give up the animal to Mr. Vincent, the original possessor. The latter, it will be rentembered, is the father of the interesting little actress of that mime, who performs in Oberon and other pieces, and who recognised the dog one night in the theatre. It was yesterday agreed betw een t h e con fli c ti ng parties, that Mr. Vincent should hencefor war d f orego a ll c l a im to the animal, on of surnmonsee, warrants, &c. receiving from Mr. Wood sot., p a yable at the rate of 1/. a week, besides the expeuces accru e d i u respect CM: ESL—Our countrywomen, we are sorry to say, are in a fair way to lose their former good character, as makers of this Cap be an North, which was always accounted the best, being now generally of such an ordinary quality, that no can with a few exceptions, siderable sales" Buchan Cheese" . was noted for its superiority, as Cheshire is in Eng land ; now, however, the former , presents a dry and saltless cur , d.

It appears that the constable who first apprehended the suspected persons, omitted that most essential part of 'his duty, namely examining the whole of their persons and luggage, in order to ascertain whether there was any pro perty or article therein belonging to Akehurst or his house keeper, Even the tools with which Page worked at his trade, were overlooked. In fact, so little knowledge of the business of " thief aking," was displayed on the pre sent occasion, that Grassthith left town again yesterday morning for the purpose of minutely examining every article in the possession of Page and , Mary Ayres i The magistiates of Union-Hall directed the whole of his tools', to be brought up to town, in order to discover whether he, had such a weapon amongst them that was likely to have inflicted the wounds which were observable on the skulls of the murdered persons, The surgeon who examined the bodies, would be enabled to describe accurately the weapon with which the blows were inflicted. _ _ In the course of yesterday a letter was received from Maidstone, addressed to the magistrates of Union-Hall, stating tliat d man nick-named Screw," who it will he recollected gave some important information to the officers on the subject of the murders, will be in town immedi ately. The man will attend at the police-office on the examination of Page, as the magistrates there conceive there is still considerable suspicion attached to him respect ing the murders. DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Yesterday two young men and two young women were brought from Acton to Marylebone Police-office, in the custody of John Williams, a constable, charged upon suspi cion with having, on Tuesday night, robbed a person of sixty sovereigns upon the Brentford-road, and treitied him with great cruelty. Upon being placed at the bar before Mr. R AwLINsON, the prisoners gave their names Samuel Oakmgham, Isaac Dint, Mary Ann dance, and .11fary Ann Page. Williams deposed, that at half-past ten o'clock on Tues day night, he was sent for to the Red Lion public-house, in Acton, and received charge of the prisoners from Dear, a Brentford constable, who stated that a man had been knocked down that night at the end of Gunnersbury-lane, near Brentford, and robbed of sixty sovereigns ; that the prisoners were suspected of having committed the robbery, and that he had followed them from Brentford, and; as sisted by two other persons, had apprehended them. Wil liams took the prisoners into a parlour, and searched them ; he found two half-sovereigns, nine shillings, some copper, and a key on the prisoner Page, who is a very short girl ; he particularly observed this money to be dirty, as if it had been rolling in the mud. Mary Ann Hence had .55., some copper, and a knife; Oakingham had sixpence, and some copper, and upon his trousers there was a finger mark of blood. Isaac Hunt had one half-sovereign, :is. Gd. and some copper: Williams also produced a neck-kerchief with a great deal of blood upon it, which was found in the parlour of the Red Lion after the prisoners had been removed to the cage, and a pair of good leather gloves, which were found in Oakingham's hat. Charles Dear, a Brantford constable, stated, that at half past eight o'clock on Tuesday night, the landlord of the Star and Garter, near Kew-bridge, sent for him, and in formed him that a person had been about four miles below Brentford to see a friend; as he came back he called at the Star and Garter and had a glass of something to drink; he then went on for about a quarter of a mile towards Lon don, when he met two girls and one man, they knocked him down, and one of the girls, who was very short, and whose person he said he should know again, cut the pocket away from his small-clothes, which contained sixty sovereigns. As soon as recovered himself, he came back to the Star and Garter, covered with blood, and without his hat and neckerchief. After receiving this information, Dear made inquiry in the town of , Brantford, and a young woman in a public-house said she knew the parties from the description, awl they were gone to Acton. Dear, with two other persons, followed them, and met them within 200 yards of that village ; they appeared to have been into it, and were then leaving it. He asked them where they were going; they said they did not know; he replied " I want you, and he took them into custody ; they all of them seemed tipsy. After taking them to the Red Lion, he ient.for Williams.—The prisoners were all remanded. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at the Green Gate Tavern, City-road, before J. W. Uswni, Esq. on the body of an elderly female named Mary Walsh. Mr. Thomas Eyans—l am a surgeon, and reside at 24, Old-street; at half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning I was sent for by Walker, the watchhouse keeper, to visit the deceased ; I immediately went, and found her dead in the watchhonse. There were no marks of exter nal violence on her person ; I understand a watchman found her at the end of Golden-lane, and brought her in about eleven o'clock. She remained in the house until the died; when 1 saw her she might have expired about 20 minutes. Apoplexy, brought on by intoxication, was the cause of her death. The Jury returned a verdict of Apoplexy, brought on by intoxication. On Tuesday evening an Inquisition was taken before TIIOSIAS lliaas, Esq., in the Committee-room at the Westminster Hospital, James-street, Buckingham-gate, on the body of Henry Homing, who was unfortunately killed in the new Palace.--Verdict, Accidental Death. INCREASE OF DAY LIGHT IN LONDON.—in a city built of red brick, where the immense consumption of coal overloads the atmosphere with smoke and showers of soot, which speedily convert the ugly red into still worse hues of deeper . gloom and black; where in many parts devoted to important business, the streets being narrow, are still more smoky, black, and gloomy,. just where light is most required; and in a climate too, where, except in very extraordinary seasons, we have but little famili arity with the rays of the sun; that in such a city, in such a climate, and in the present age, the inhabitants should go on with their black light-absorbing walls, groping their way in the dark at mid-day, when a little lime and size is to be had for love or money, must surely be very surprising to any person who gives himself the trouble to think at all on the matter. In every town in Spain, where a white wall would not be so much soiled in a thousand years as in London in one month, every house is unne cessarily white washed once a year. In Italy, 'many of the handsomest buildings are stuccoed and whitewashed; and so are the entire cities of Naples, Faenza, Imo's, Forli, lie. But whether of atone or brick every house is white outside; is red house seem ing as fitting and picturesque to an Italjan, as the sterns of trees painted blue and red in a cockney Dutch garden. In Spain and Italy they have plenty of light, without encouraging the re flection of it from the walls ; but here, in London at least, there certainly is none to spare. Were every house white-washed once a year, or every two years, what a very great and beneficial increase of light would be produced ! And that the effect might be greater when most required, the operation might be performed in October. I have heard it objected, that it is not claseical or regular to whitewash brick walls. Is there, then, something so very architectural and classical in our lines of common brick house*, hideously black, and filthy us boot ?
